Program for TI 82/83 for Synthetic Division

Check with the manual for directions on how to program the calculator.  Briefly, Press PGRM, NEW, Create New , Enter.   Give it a name SYNTHETIC  is OK.  
Then type in what you see.

->  mean STO on the calculator.

To get to items like DISP  and Menu,  INPUT, etc. use the PGRM key while in the Create New mode.

( If you have a TI Graph Link and know how to use it, I will email you the programs so that you  can enter them through the link.)
